Adventures in Couponing - Back to it!

It's been quite a while since I've gone couponing. There were even a couple of weeks I didn't go out to get a newspaper for the inserts - GASP - I know! 9 months pregnant was not agreeing with me and not even the coupons were worth leaving the house for. But now that Layla's here and I'm MUCH more comfortable, I'm getting back into the swing of things. I was excited to go through my coupons and get it all organized to start it up again. A friend of mine sent me a text letting me know that Walgreens had a ton of baby items on clearance. I'm SO there! I got out my binder, grabbed all my baby coupons, checked out the week's insert for sales and made my list of what to get. Here's how I did:

TGIFriday's chips - $1.00 (love to snack on these while I'm scrapping)

Dawn dish liquid - on sale for 99 cents, and had a 50 cent coupon which made it 49 cents

Princess Party cup - 99 cents, just because

M&Ms as a filler

*Used $5.00 in Register Rewards from the first transaction

Total Spent: $4.95

Total Saved: $16.06!!!

Unfortunately, there weren't that much on clearance that I needed, but I did find great deals on diapers and wipes, which I need a lot of, and have a lot of coupons for from companies. All in all, a great first trip back into couponing! And definitely going out tomorrow to get a newspaper!
